In 2008, George Kuh delineated ten higher education opportunities as High Impact Practices (HIPs) and indicated that participation in just one HIP experience during a college career significantly increased a student's outcomes. Since that time, Kuh set forth conditions that help make such experiences high-impact. Undergraduate research is one of the ten HIP experiences, and many institutions have implemented, or are implementing, it more widely across their curricula as a high-impact practice. Due to the relative newness of HIPs, the question remains: How do we ensure that undergraduate research HIP experiences are high-impact? This presentation will address one approach to answering that question and include reflections on an initial implementation of a course-embedded undergraduate research HIP in general chemistry.
